Pension PlayPen regulars and those new to our coffee mornings, the meeting on Tuesday June 3rd at 10.30 should be in your diary. I will be continuing a conversation with Tom begun in a garden the evening before his first trustee meeting.
I want to find out what makes the job worth doing for someone who has spent his life working in the retail sector, most notably with Hargreaves Lansdown but recently with Scottish communicators the Lang Cat.Tom gave up his role with the Cat and I want to know what drove him toward the more institutional world of DB and DC occupational pensions
He’s given us this as a Linked in Bio!
Highly experienced financial services professional. Analyser and explainer of pensions, ‘making pensions interesting’. Podcaster, expert knowledge of PR and public affairs, pensions policy and long term savings, trusteeship and governance, strategic communications, corporate reputation management and thought leadership.
These are the questions we’ll be exploring, together with meandering off when questions come from the many people who we’re expecting.
We expect the Government to have shared its thinking on the Pension Investment Review by Tuesday and we may know more about the Pension Bill and likely Act that will follow.
Questions that occur to me at this stage are not specific to current events but I think it unlikely that Tom will not revert to career average and give us his view of where politics is taking pensions!
1. What made you want to be an occupational trustee?2 What scheme you chose and what’s happened so far?3. What you see coming from the Pension Bill?4. DC or DB – where do you offer most as a trustee?5. What qualifications you’ll have by this time next year6. How do other trustees, advisers and sponsors treat you?
The request for Tom to take the spot at short notice is because there is no better person to talk us through his transition!
